return_to_nolaThere was a field not too far from Phoenix Effect that was too small for all the various sports leagues in the city to have snapped up for weekend practices or games, but big enough for the fairly flexible game of touch football, so that's where they played. People came and went for most of the afternoon, though the game itself only lasted an hour and change. Almost everyone played, but there were several people watching, choosing to cheer or heckle or talk amongst themselves as it suited them.
When everyone got together enough to actually start the game, they divided into two teams, with Matteo as the referee. Zach's team was made up of Hazel, Max, Hanne, Nori, Nick, Alex, and Oliver; Kyle had Elspeth, Joel, Carrie, Caleb, Irene, Sam, and Elena on his team. It wasn't a blowout, but Zach's team won by a few touchdowns and were crowned the victors. Despite a couple minor accidents, everyone came out of it in one piece. More or less.

“Kyle, I already approve, you don’t have to keep showing off,” Katie teased.
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 10:13 am (UTC)"He's always like this! Now you know what I've been talking about." Because yes, she'd gushed to Katie more than once, and yes, she was so into him it was gross/adorable/embarrassing/the most wonderful thing.

no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 10:46 am (UTC)Hazel laughed and squeezed him tightly. "We should stop teasing him, or I'll be forced to kidnap him off to somewhere private and the game will be canceled." His blushes were too adorable, her heart too full.

Kyle hid his face against Hazel, though he was still laughing.
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 11:22 am (UTC)"Only with delicate tattooed nerd boys I can't get enough of," Hazel clarified, grinning. "All other football flirting is bad and lame. It is known."
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 11:24 am (UTC)“I wish I had a nerd boy to flirt with.” That was a fun joke until Katie remembered that she did actually have one, but she laughed at herself anyway, because she just had to keep that secret from Hazel forever, she guessed.
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 11:39 am (UTC)Hazel just laughed. "Oh my god, Kyle, you just made Katie attracted to men. I love you, Katie, but you can't have him. I called dibs."
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 11:43 am (UTC)“I didn’t mean to!” Kyle protested.
That was so cute, and Katie pushed her Scott feelings away to smile at him. “Don’t worry, if you’re taken and all other men are terrible, which they are, I’ll still go back to women.”
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 11:48 am (UTC)"He is so taken he has 'Property of Hazel Jean Larson' tattooed on him," Hazel pointed out, sticking her tongue out at Katie. Well, close enough.
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 11:50 am (UTC)“An original Hazel Jean, right here,” Kyle agreed, holding out his arm.
Katie quickly leaned in to look. “Oh my god, I heard so much about this. It’s beautiful, Hazel.”
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 12:01 pm (UTC)"His tattoo artist is probably gonna murder me in revenge, but it's worth it." She still couldn't believe her art was going to be on Kyle's arm forever; it was the craziest, most perfect thing.
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 12:04 pm (UTC)“Oliver? My ex-girlfriend’s bestie? He’s too nice to murder anyone.” She winked at Kyle. “So keep honouring Hazel’s work.”
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 12:13 pm (UTC)"I should probably get a tattoo from him to make up for it. That seems fair." Hazel propped her chin on Kyle's chest and looked up at him. "What do you think?"
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 12:16 pm (UTC)“I think that’s…” He finished the sentence lowly, so only Hazel could hear, “Really hot.”
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 12:24 pm (UTC)Yes, hi, Katie was right, football flirting was sexy. "Mmm, good. I'll let you help me pick it out."
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 12:29 pm (UTC)“It’s a date,” Kyle murmured, kissing her.
“Okay, you guys are gross now,” Katie said cheerfully, “You’re excused.”
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 12:36 pm (UTC)"Sorry babe!" Hazel replied happily, but only after really enjoying that kiss. "We will go be gross elsewhere. Please cheer for Kyle during the game, because he is cuter and also needs it more."
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 12:38 pm (UTC)Katie laughed. “Sorry, but no way. It’s nothing personal, Kyle, but I don’t cheer for men. Go team Hazel!” She blew her best friend a kiss.
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 12:43 pm (UTC)Hazel laughed and blew her a kiss right back. "Love you!"
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 12:56 pm (UTC)“Love you, go away!”
Kyle laughed, shifting to wrap an arm around Hazel. “Okay, let’s see if I survive the game.”
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 01:06 pm (UTC)"You have to survive, because there are eggrolls after, and after eggrolls there is me getting naked so we can find all the best spots to put a new tattoo." And if that wasn't motivation, Hazel didn't know what was.
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 10:17 pm (UTC)"So it's the most perfect night in the world," Kyle replied, dazzled. "I have to live."
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 10:25 pm (UTC)Hazel beamed. "Yes. Yes, you do."
no subject
Date: 2019-04-28 10:50 pm (UTC)"Anything for you, and eggrolls, but mostly you."
